More Luke “Full Flush” shenanigans, FTOPS XV hits its guarantees and no more Poker Brat? It’s all in today’s PTPN Hit and Run.

If you needed more reason to not like Luke “Full Flush” Schwartz, here ya go. Schwartz was trying to fly from London to Vegas, but he was too late to board the flight. Apparently he took out his frustration with a “barrage of f words,” according to this report. Once he got on a different flight, he apparently “mistakenly” took a seat in first class when he bought an economy ticket.

FTOPS is rolling on, and has met guarantees in all five events so far in the 15th edition of the tournament series at Full Tilt Poker. Catch up with the action from event nos. 4 and 5 here.

For all of you mixed game players, here’s an interview with a couple of high-profile regulars: David “WhooooKidd” Baker and Jonathan “driverseati” Tamayo.

Take over at ESPN.com about the recent story in Forbes Magazine on online poker. Check it out here.

Interview with Phil Hellmuth from the Party Poker Premier League, where he talks about leaving his “Poker Brat” image behind. Yeah, we’ll believe it when we see it.

Rakeback and Free Bankrolls

PTP offers several rakeback and free bankroll offers for our viewers. If you're not familiar with rakeback, read our guide to online poker rakeback. To learn how much you could be earning with rakeback, check out our rakeback calculator. If you're ready to get started, our most popular rakeback offers are True Poker Rakeback, Cake Poker Rake Back and Carbon Poker RakeBack.

Free and no deposit bankrolls (also called free poker money) are essentially promotional deals we've arranged with rooms where they give you a small amount of money (usually $10-$150) to try out their room. These offers are a great way to get your feet wet at a room without going through the hassle of depositing, and provide players nervous about depositing at an online gambling site with a risk-free way to play poker, bingo, and other games online.
